WOMEN police recently found a new champion for
their marriage rights when Dr. Edith Summerskill, Socialist M.P., asked the House to modify recruiting regulations,
Women police, it is claimed, have to pledge themselves on enlisting that, they will not marry, or, if they do, that they will leave the force.

She maintained that the existing) married women in many profes- bun is one of the reasons why the NID:24. force Is under strength.

JOHN ROWLAND IS BABY OF THE CITY
re-
Glum
THE first baby boy to be born during more than fifty years in the City Greenyard, where the Lord Mayor's coach is kept, was carried across Fore-street to the Church of St.. Giles, Cripplegate, recently to be baptised.
They called him John Rowland Burbidge. His father is the Superintendent of the, City Greenyard, and John Rowland was named after one of the City Sheriffs, Mr. Frederick Rowland,
John Rowland is now the youngest citizen in the greatest; city in the world, the City of London, whose 9,333 inhabitants share between them a tradition of nearly ten unbroken cen- turies.
In the church irt which
he was baptised Oliver Cromwell was mar- ried; Milton lies there, and so does Sir Martin Frobisher, who fought against the Spanish Armada,
Mr. Albert King, the verger, who prepared the font for the ceremony, was born in the Greenyard and was baptised in the same font-so were his father and grandfather. Young John Roseland's grandfather Уда baptised there, too, and his great- grandfather,
And when John Rowland grows up and marries you can depend upon It that his children will be baptised in this church, which has received the City's bables these last 800 years.
YOU CAN GROW
A COALIE-FLOWER
Do you know what a coalle-
the flower 12 Xt is
newest thing in table decoration, and is spreading through England. This Is how you can grow one:
Mix a small bottle of red ink (2d. - size) with three table. spoons of household ammonia, two tablespoons of salt, three packels of a special powder blue, and three tablespoons of cold water"
Then place four or five pleces of coal, about the size of amali oranges, in glass bowl, and pour the mixture over them.
If you stand_the_bowl in a warm place and add a table- spoon of water and a teaspoon of salt every second day you will soon have a bowl full of coral. pretty coable-flower- jike growth.
Artificial Earthquakes
For New Zealand
Auckland. Į surface, and to determine their loca- New Zealand is soon to experience) tions. some artificial earthquakes as well as the real ones which occasionally rock purts of the country.
The artificial 'quakes will be quite barmicas, however, and will help in the quest for oil on the west coast of the North Island.
Details of this novel oil-searching method were given by Mr. R. C. Clark, a physicist in the employ of the Standard Oli Company of Ame- ries, when he arrived here from the United States.
He will be in charge of the seismo- logical party that will shortly con- duct surveys on the North Island.
Since he graduated from the Uni- versity of Nebraska in 1927, Mr. Clark has specialised in this class of work, and with teams of scientific earthquake-makers he has traversed the olifields of Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and many other states.
The general idea, behind the Sels- melogical work to be done is creation of miniature earthquakes by setting off small dynamite charges at various depths, he expinined.
The vibrations set up by the con- tussions travelled through the earth, were reflected from certain for-
·mations such as limestone, and re- corded on special equipment used for that precise purpose.
The data gothered in this way en- abled him to say what geològical structures Ing, beneath the ground
This was an essential part of mo- methods, since dern prospecting there must be some form of geologi- cal structure forming reservoirs for oli accumulations,
"In no sense do we discover oil," Mr. Clark said. "We merely locate subterranean structures favourable to the occumulation of oll."
CHILDREN WHO
WON'T EAT
There's nothing so wearing for
a mother as a child who won't cat well. Usually such a child is the "nervy" highly-strung type. He picks at his food, looks pale and loses weight,
י.
Coaxing won't improve malters. Child specialists everywhere re- commend Horlicks for these "nervy" children with faded op- petites,,
The reason is that Horlicks not only builds bone and muscle, but it stimulates their appetites for the foods they need." Inn remarkably short time they get strong, healthy, full of life and "go." And children love the laste of Horlicks. Get Horlicks to-day.
